In the book of Vera Olkhovskaya "Cutting technique for the lazy" the experience of cutters who do not use ready-made patterns when cutting is summarized.

Particular attention is paid to the method of presenting the material: it is fundamentally different from the existing ones. The author refuses the generally accepted alphanumeric designation of points and lines in the drawings, focusing on the logic of their construction. This made it possible to minimize the use of calculations and formulas, and also greatly simplified the process of learning the cutting technique.

The book is supplied with drawings and drawings.

"Sewing without samples" - the second book by Vera Olkhovskaya about the cutting technique. It describes the techniques of cutting clothes, the tailoring technology of which does not provide for traditional fittings. And the indisputable advantage of the presented models is that they do not require alterations in case of weight fluctuations.

“Clothes without fittings” contains styles of varying complexity and suitable for all types of figures.

The method of presenting the material is the same as in the “Cutting Technique for the Lazy”: the author refuses the generally accepted alphanumeric designation of points and lines in the drawings and focuses on explaining the logic of the constructions. The use of calculations and formulas is kept to a minimum.

Particular attention is paid to the subtleties of cutting and processing without the use of special sewing equipment. Previously, these simplified "home" technologies for making clothes from thin synthetic knitwear were not described anywhere.

In 2012 book "Sewing without fittings" reissued in electronic version.

The book "Clothes for expectant mothers" descriptions of clothing models, both traditional and trendy trends, are given.

The topic of clothes for pregnant women was undeservedly rejected for a long time by the authors of books on tailoring and sewing because of the low public interest in pregnant women. Therefore, the book "Clothes for expectant mothers" in the light of new social reforms is very relevant today.

It is worth noting that the descriptions of the models are made taking into account the typical mistakes of amateur tailors.

Most of the models in the book "We sew fashionably and beautifully" can be made from used items or leftover fabric.

In this book, for the first time in the history of books on needlework, an attempt was made to make life easier for a woman moving into a new, more solid weight category and to show fashion that does not impose conditions.

In particular, models for full and very full ladies are presented. As always, a lot of drawings and drawings. The book includes models of skirts, trousers, overalls, corsages, blouses, jackets and dresses.

Particular attention is paid to economical layouts, as well as layouts made on the details of clothing that has been worn.

The only danger hidden in this book is that you can be "infected" with a passion for reshaping and altering, especially since the models presented to your attention are available to rich and poor, slim and overweight.
